What kind of help is needed: What should be paid attention to for children's cranial repair surgery?Doctor's answer:
Children undergoing cranial repair surgery must pay close attention to the selection of repair materials, the operation of the surgery, and strict perioperative management. Currently, the most ideal cranial repair material is polyetheretherketone (PEEK), which is a special polymer material with performance characteristics that are very similar to autologous cranial bone. It has excellent biocompatibility, and can be precisely matched to the bone window through CT-based two-dimensional shaping and embedded repair, effectively restoring the growth and development of children's cranial bones. It does not cause rejection, infection, or affect postoperative various radiological examinations.
